Ian, father of Tyron, student from South Africa
I would like to thank you and the team at MORE Field Guide College for giving Tyron a life-changing experience. He is super chuffed and came home a different and more confident person.

I feel hugely privileged to have been fortunate enough to have spent the time that I have with Phil (and now Bijense too!). I only wish it could have been longer! It is amazing to have been able to learn from such a legend of the industry. His dedication towards us is unbelievable.

Lucy, student from South Africa
My time at MORE has been the best 6 months of my life. The instructors are hilariously entertaining and are truly kings of the bush. The 3 meals a day are delicious – and they cater for vegetarians too! I can honestly say they made my dreams come true.

Arun, student from India
I’ve been wanting to live and work in the bush in Africa for pretty much all my life. MORE Field Guide College is probably the best place I could ever have chosen. I have gained so much knowledge about the bush, the animals, birds, insects you name it. Living with an international team and meeting wonderful people, making lifetime friends, it’s been a joy from the start.

Kim, student from South Africa (currently a Field Guide at Marataba South Africa)
I can’t express how MORE has changed my life. My confidence has grown so much since day one and it’s all because of the brilliance and passion and genuine care of our instructors. No one gets left behind and they are constantly keeping the spark and excitement alive. Thank you for not just turning me into a guide, but a great one!

Heinrich, student from South Africa
I think the opportunity that is given to you with the placement after the 6-month course in order to get more experience is amazing. I love all the additional modules like wildlife photography or tracking which give us additional skills for working in the bush. I so much enjoy being around people from all over the world which I have not experienced before.

Stine, student from Norway
I have always dreamed of Africa, and here at MORE Field Guide College my dreams became reality. It has been 6 months with magic moments, a major increase in knowledge and understanding of the nature and all the creatures that live in it. And the people, my fellow students, my trainers and the staff; amazing people, some became friends, others like family.
